Sending out your save-the-dates is exciting because it’s your first chance to give your guests some official info on your wedding! This is also your chance to have a little fun showing off your decided wedding colors and/or theme. Since your wedding is months away and, at this point, you’re not neck deep in finalizing your wedding plans … this is the perfect time for a little DIY action! DIY projects are my FAVORITE! Scissors, ink, glue, paper, ribbon … Bring on the crafting supplies! Here are ten ideas I’ve come across for fun DIY save-the-dates.

1. Save the Date Hankies – I stumbled on these sweet little Hankie save the dates which would be a perfect way to inform your guests of a vintage themed wedding!

2. Spinning Wheel – Check out this interactive save the date! Your guests can spin the wheel to find out the details of your upcoming marriage!

4. Number Ribbon – I love the idea of including a little pocket on your Save the Date to hold a ribbon that has numbers attached! Guests can pull the end of the ribbon out of the pocket to reveal your wedding date.

7.Boarding Pass – These boarding pass Save the Dates are a perfect fit for a destination wedding. What better way to inform guests that they’re invited to join you on a trip to celebrate your marriage?

10. Video – If you have the equipment, why not shoot a short little video to use as your Save the Date. Not only is this a cute idea, but it will save you money on postage because you can email it out to your guest list!
